We have now been in La Paz for five days. The first three I laid low to recover from an infection. The Marina is really very nice and we are tucked away beyond the main part of the marina in an area filled with shops and restaurants. There is a health club, spa and golf course all attached to the marina. We began to explore the area on Wednesday and the services, cleanliness and operation of the marina are quite exceptional. Because of this we have decided to stay here for at least a month.

Today, we went into town which is quite unlike any other Mexican town, it is neat and clean and people have pride in their surroundings. There is the Club Cruceros who organize events for cruisers, fund money and donations to local charities and also run the daily 8:00 am channel 22 cruiser net.

We walked along the Malecon for over a half mile and no one approached us with something to sell, the only thing we saw were smiles from the people we passed.
